(Swift 3,4,5...) Get Certificate As XML (and gets Signature Algorithm Identifier)

Demonstrates how to convert a certificate to XML such that the contents can easily be identified and accessed. Typically, the Chilkat Cert API provides properties and methods to access the most commonly needed pieces of information from a certificate. If a bit of information is not readily available then it can likely be retrieved from the XML representation. One such case is the certificate's signature algorithm identifier.

The basic internal format of a certificate is as follows (from section 4.1 of RFC 5280).

   Certificate  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
        tbsCertificate       TBSCertificate,
        signatureAlgorithm   AlgorithmIdentifier,
        signatureValue       BIT STRING  }

   TBSCertificate  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
        version         [0]  EXPLICIT Version DEFAULT v1,
        serialNumber         CertificateSerialNumber,
        signature            AlgorithmIdentifier,
        issuer               Name,
        validity             Validity,
        subject              Name,
        subjectPublicKeyInfo SubjectPublicKeyInfo,
        issuerUniqueID  [1]  IMPLICIT UniqueIdentifier OPTIONAL,
        subjectUniqueID [2]  IMPLICIT UniqueIdentifier OPTIONAL,
                             -- If present, version MUST be v2 or v3
        extensions      [3]  EXPLICIT Extensions OPTIONAL
                             -- If present, version MUST be v3
        }

Chilkat does not expect you to fully understand this notation and structure, but you can see that at a high level, the certificate is a sequence of three things, one after the other (a TBSCertifciate, an AlgorithmIdentifier, and a BIT STRING that is the signature). In XML format, it will look like this:

<sequence>
    <sequence>
        TBSCertificate goes here...
    </sequence>
    <sequence>
        <oid>1.2.840.113549.1.1.11</oid>
        <null />
    </sequence>
    <bits n="2048">3D20E895... 8DA307EC</bits>
</sequence>

The "oid" specifies the signature algorithm (such as sha256RSA), but it is an OID. In this case, the OID "1.2.840.113549.1.1.11" indicates "sha256WithRSAEncryption". (Google "1.2.840.113549.1.1.11" and you will find the 1st search result is http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/1.2.840.113549.1.1.11.html. You can lookup any OID this way, to see what it means.)

    // Close the connection with the server
    // Wait a max of 20 millsec for a clean TLS shutdown.  
    socket.close(20)

    // Examine the server cert in XML format
    var certXml: String? = cert!.exportXml()
    print("\(certXml!)")

    // Let's parse the XML to get the signature algorithm identifier.
    let xml = CkoXml()!
    xml.load(certXml)

    // The 2nd child is at index 1.
    var algId: CkoXml? = xml.getChild(1)
    var oid: String? = algId!.getChildContent("oid")
    print("Signature Algorithm OID = \(oid!)")

    algId = nil
    cert = nil

}
